Katy Perry is grieving the loss of her beloved cat, Kitty Purry, who sadly passed away this weekend.

The pregnant singer delivered the heartbreaking news to her 94 million fans on Instagram with an emotional tribute dedicated to her furry friend of 15 years.

Along with a series of nostalgic, heartfelt photos with Kitty, Perry wrote, “Kitty Purry crawled through my then-boyfriend’s window 15 years ago, fully pregnant and seeking shelter. Two litters and many moons later, this street cat became a lovable mascot to many. Sadly, Kitty completed her 9th life last night.”

“I hope she rests in salmon fillets and tuna tartare way up in catnip heaven,” the “Dark Horse” singer added. “Kitty, thanks for the cuddles and companionship along the way. Big thanks to my brother David and @garethwalters for being great co-parents 💔 #kittypurryforever."

The unfortunate loss comes just a month after Perry revealed her grandmother, Ann, had died just days after the singer announced she is expecting her first child with actor and fiance Orlando Bloom.

Earlier this month, the “Teenage Dream” musician, who has been romantically linked to the English hunk since 2016, announced the couple were having a daughter. In celebrating the gender reveal, Perry posted a playful pic of her hubby-to-be smeared in light pink frosting. “💕 It’s a girl 💕,” she wrote with the celebratory pic.

The reveal came weeks after Perry bared her baby bump for the first time in her “Never Worn White” music video.

As of yet, the lovebirds’ upcoming wedding ceremony — originally rumored to happen this April — had to be postponed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
